plates evenly with slices.

ellatrix Restaurant is kicking
off its new seasonal menu
during Palm Springs Restau-
rant Week May 30 through June 8.
Summer is a time for smaller por-
tions, cooler starters and fresh sea-
sonal ingredients, says Restaurant
Manager Ruan Krugel.
Executive Chef Gerard Brunett
has given a uniquely flavorful twist
to the dinner menu with the Moroc-
can Spiced Grouper and Southwest-
Style Honey BBQ Short Ribs.
There's also an Italian presence,
including the Chicken Cavatappi
and Crab Linguini entrees.
For lunch, the popular fruit salad
will return along with some new
sandwiches.
"The menu is a good example of
gauging the interests of diners and
what they are ordering," Krugel
says. "It is eclectic yet well-bal-
anced and offers a great range of
exceptionally fresh food."
In June, Bellatrix will host its next
wine tasting featuring three to five
varietals from Starmont. Bottles will
be available for purchase at reduced
prices. The tasting is $10 to $15 per
person and includes hors d'oeuvres.
Also, a three-course prix fix menu,
similar to the one featured during
restaurant week, will be available
during the summer. Cost is $30.
Finally, a wine sale will continue
throughout summer, with specially
priced bottles on the dinner menu.
